 The difference between a robotics kid and a generic nerd. Both use their calculators for statistical analysis. One keeps it a closely guarded secret, the other brags about it on Chief Delphi! - Kevin Leonard [more] |

Re: [FTC]: New Blog Post Complete with Our First Game Hint
Well, I think the first flag is the US flag (but I can't really tell). The second flag is definitely the Russian flag though. Bonus points for finishing the game early ala FRC 2001? Or maybe rushing around a race track ala Overdrive.

Re: [FTC]: New Blog Post Complete with Our First Game Hint
Well... HINT1 is a human gene... so obviously that means that we're building micro bots to map out the genes of some unknown living organism!
 It'll be great!!!!On a more serious note [or at least as serious as you can get with these game hints], by looking around the picture as much as I have time to with photoshop, I think the flag to the left of the picture looks like the USA flag from far and I can't confirm or deny that one from looking at pixels... But for the one on the right I don't see any blue to say Russia, I agree with a member of my team who said it looked Polish. Although that's if there is not insignia or anything on the middle (there's no way we would know with the resolution) it could even be Texas or North Carolina! And as for the architecture of the building... I would say it sure looks like a sports building... but you know, FIRST is my favorite sport, so how about plans to build a FIRST Stadium! (IN POLAND! Whooohooo!)

Skyler may have something there - The flag on the right is pretty obscure but definitely not Russian - possibly Poland or Yugoslavia :>)

Re: [FTC]: New Blog Post Complete with Our First Game Hint
I'm pretty sure there's blue in the flag. You can see it more clearly if you zoom in close. If there is blue, then it can't be the Polish flag, which has no blue, and it can't be the Yugoslavia flag because the colors are in the wrong order, white is in the middle of that flag (according to a quick google search) while it is at the top of the flag in the picture. So imho, I still think it's the Russian flag.

Re: [FTC]: New Blog Post Complete with Our First Game Hint
Perhaps it's just that the picture is a graphical representation.
Can that kind of thing be done in ProEngineer? At World last year I was talking with someone on the game committee about this next season and they mentioned that it would be a good idea to brush up on the team's skills in that area...
